Nodes with an indegree of at least two may be designated as potential targets. Nodes with no incoming connections may be designated as potentially compromised nodes. The designated potentially compromised nodes may be outputted as potentially associated with a coordinated attack on the network when the potentially compromised nodes connect to one or more of the same potential target nodes.

  • Patent number: 7428854
    Abstract: A mainshaft assembly for a gearbox and a gearbox embodying such a mainshaft assembly are disclosed. The mainshaft assembly comprises a mainshaft, and several drive gears, each carried for rotation about the mainshaft, each drive gear having a different number of teeth. The assembly includes first and a second hub, each being associated with a respective drive gear, each hub having a dog ring operable to selectively couple with the drive gear causing it to rotate with the hub or uncouple from the drive gear to allow the drive gear to rotate with respect to the hub. A respective drive connection means comprising a cage and rollers is associated with each hub and is operative to connect or disconnect the hub to the mainshaft for rotation with it or to allow rotation with respect to it.
